============

Although a large number of priest knights were dealt with, the unfavorable battle situation still remained.

The staff member, who had blocked Aldebaran’s slash with an intangible barrier, twitched the corner of his mouth and showed an expression of discomfort.

“This is a truly vicious attack. Who would have thought that such power was hidden in the holy sword… .”

The divinity of the Earth Mother was injected into the body covered with the blessings of the God of Calamity, thereby intentionally causing a conflict of divinity. It was a cruel technique that could only be achieved by a cold-blooded person without the slightest sense of mercy.

I did not know the power of the holy sword Aldebaran.

It’s a ridiculous defeat.

If I had known in advance, I wouldn’t have hastily activated the strong spirit.

The aide nodded, acutely aware of his ignorance.

“It looks like he time traveled for 3 years.”

“What does that mean?”

The staff asked back what Edanant said.

Then Edanant answered.

“The leader of the cultists, the Apostle of the God of Disaster, is too ignorant to say the least. The same goes for the priests who have been reduced to mush. What on earth are you guys?”

“… … .”

The staff did not answer.

He only showed his uncomfortable feelings with a stiff expression.

Did you hit the nail on the head?

Edanant revealed his teeth as he raised his holy sword.

“Even if you reveal your identity, what difference will it make? The battle between the creator god and the disaster god has always existed.”

“Sounds like asking me to kill you.”

“No, we will absolutely destroy the empire and the Holy Empire. And they will forever erase the divinity of the Creator God, whom they hold up as the only God.”

“I like it because it’s easy to understand.”

The staff member revealed his aspirations.

As if to prove it, numerous armies attacked the central square where the clock tower was located.

They are rebels of the empire.

Hatred toward the Valtarian imperial family rang loudly.

The morale of the rebels who broke through the city was as fierce as a bird of prey. The sight of soldiers holding up torches and military flags rushing into the central square gave me a sense of crisis for a moment. The rebels, who had finally broken through the empire’s defense line, gained momentum and began attacking the imperial castle directly.

“But can the puppets played by the Disaster God’s apostles bring down the Baltarian Empire?”

“… … .”

The Baltarian Empire is strong.

The majesty of the most powerful nation that conquered the continent is by no means an illusion.

It is the victorious nation that destroyed the Demon King’s army along with the Holy Imperial Kingdom in the tribal war. Armies hastily created through witchcraft and brainwashing could never threaten the very name of the empire.

“Suppress the rebels!”

“The forces of the red dragon will never retreat!”

The Red Dragon’s descendants launched a counterattack.

When the elite troops defending the imperial castle were deployed, the situation of the war changed drastically.

The formation of the rebels, who were advancing like a tornado, collapsed, showing the overwhelming gap. As the knights of the empire charged, a bloody carpet of fresh blood was born.

“Holhol, you are sorely mistaken.”

“What?”

“Could you have put such high hopes on the consumables? They are nothing but living sacrifices to the gods.”

“… No way.”

──────!!!!

The ominous feeling that instantly colored my mind soon became a reality.

A dark magical power surged.

And strangely shaped characters occupied the entire floor of the clock tower.

The ban is activated.

Using the clock tower in the central square as the coordinates, the surrounding area was targeted.

It was different from existing black magic. This is because, unlike black magic that manipulates dead bodies or uses fresh blood as a living sacrifice, it only sucks the life force of the injured who are about to die.

“From now on, the passage leading to the chaos world will open.”

“… Chaotic world?”

It’s my first time hearing this name.

Edanant’s face distorted at the staff member’s declaration.

Chaotic world.

Such a strange name has never been mentioned in the work.

Isn’t it a space completely cut off from the outside world, like a paradise for fairies? The golden drink, which greedily sucked up countless life forces existing around it, was slowly approaching completion. A passage dark as pitch black appeared in the sky.

“You damn bastard.”

Edanant raised his pistol and fired several shots at the elderly man.

However, all the magical bullets bounced off the invisible barrier.

It was the same as when I made the slash.

Intangible energy was blocking one attack after another.

“Monster, monster!”

“Monsters are coming down from the sky!!”

Screams of fear erupted.

There was no scene like hell.

From the pitch black that covered the ecliptic, vicious monsters appeared all at once.

There were a total of five monsters that came out like that.

A variant of the chaos world armed all over with sharp metal objects spewed fire. The monster, boasting a huge body, swept away both imperial and rebel forces at the same time, swinging its sharp claws and massive tail.

“Damn, he opened the passage and ran away… !”

The old man who had been laughing slyly disappeared from nowhere.

The same was true for the priests who were guarding him.

Edanant’s gaze disappeared for a moment as he gazed at the cityscape that had been transformed into a hellish city.

Does this mean that the mission has been accomplished and that this is the end?

I gritted my teeth, determined to find the bastard and tear him to pieces.

‘Where should I start?’

A clock tower used as the summoning coordinates for Geumsul.

A battlefield where tens of thousands of troops are chaotically entangled.

Mutants of the chaotic world who run rampant as if they will burn the ecliptic at any moment.

In addition, the forces of the Baltarian Empire were dispersed due to a series of adverse events. No doubt the cultists would raid the imperial castle, which had become somewhat lax in security.

“… … .”

It is possible if you use divine protection.

At least the hell that is happening in the ecliptic can be sorted out in a short period of time.

Your identity may be revealed,

There was no time to worry about such trivial concerns.

Hundreds of thousands of lives could be lost due to a moment of inattention. Thinking like that, Edanant raised his fist to his chest, alleviating his worries that his identity would be discovered.

─────!!!!

When I finally tried to activate the protection,

A crimson ray emitting fierce heat energy flew in and defeated the monster of the chaos world.

It happened in an instant.

The monster, whose head had half melted from the intense heat, died without even being able to scream.

Edanant, who was feeling the pressure of desperation, raised his head.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw the crimson light that illuminated the pitch-black sky.

“Your Majesty! Your Majesty!!”

As the red dragon’s flames dispersed, a beautiful woman appeared. The woman who arrived on the battlefield with her gorgeous blonde hair fluttering was clearly Ludmilla.

He called in an exasperated voice.

But unfortunately, Ludmilla was unable to hear Edanant’s call because she was busy dealing with the monsters of the chaos world that were going wild.

He swung the holy sword, which radiated pure white brilliance, like a light baton, but it was the same.

how,

How on earth can I call it?

After thinking for a moment, Edanant swallowed his sleep and shouted again.

“Ludmilla-!!”

I called her name with a feeling of doubt.

One hour is an urgent situation.

I had no choice but to commit rudeness.

“Did you call me, Edanant.”

Did they capture an urgent voice in the scene of hell where explosions and screams erupted? Ludmilla was once again engulfed in crimson light and fell to the top of the clock tower where Edanant was located.

I really heard it.

Out of desperation, I threw it away.

Edanant greeted Ludmilla with a confused reaction.

“Cultists who worship the disaster god are behind this. He used the blessings of the God of Disaster to lure nobles who were hostile to the imperial family into puppets.”

“… God of disaster.”

Ludmilla’s face darkened after hearing the unpleasant news.

It’s a natural reaction.

Because the God of Disaster was a fearful being that should never be faced.

“The wounded on the battlefield were sacrificed to summon monsters from the other world. Since they are such cruel and ruthless people, they must be aiming for even more terrible things.”“What is that?”

“They will try to assassinate His Majesty.”

“… … !”

The atrocities committed by the vengeful believers of the God of Disaster were all too clear.

They will assassinate the emperor.

The cultists were targeting the rulers of the empire.

It is dangerous if we do not return to the imperial castle right away. That is why Edanant urgently conveyed the danger to Ludmilla. Because it will influence the outcome in a split second of time.

“But dealing with the monsters that fell from thin air is also an urgent priority. If you leave the monsters unattended, unprecedented damage will follow.”

As soon as Ludmilla left her words, a shocking variable occurred.

The monster stood up.

It was the same monster whose head had melted after being hit directly by the crimson rays.

Although he received fatal injuries that deserved to die, he recovered immediately. The chaos monster raised its fully intact head high and spewed flames towards the city.

“But now… .”

“I’ll leave it to you. Guard His Majesty on my behalf.”

You can’t save everyone.

It’s an either-or situation.

Now we have no choice but to make innocent sacrifices.

I was going to say those harsh words.

However, Ludmilla, who realized what was going on, turned her head and interrupted Edanant.

“… Will I really be able to do it?”

“I trust you. I believe in you more than anyone else in the world.”

The princess’s innocent trust became a dagger and pierced her lungs. Edanant stared at Ludmilla’s back with a gaze full of anxiety.

There was no distrust whatsoever.

Her voice was as brave and dignified as ever.

I closed my mouth for a moment.

Then he raised his head and answered.

“I will follow your orders, Your Highness.”

This is truly an unreasonable command.

However, he could not betray the princess’s trust.

I promised myself that I would live up to my faith no matter what.

“That and that! From now on, when we’re alone… You can call me by name. Just like before.”

“… Yes.”

I can’t believe you remember.

I thought I would ignore it because it was an uneasy situation.

At Ludmilla’s bold permission, Edanant felt so ashamed that he wanted to hide in a mouse hole.
